ADK, my weather forecast- weather underground is less favorable for where I am- highs in the low 30's for a few days. I won't be tapping based on that, but I do have to say I've been hating Weather Underground lately, so I'm open to other sources? I still think I'll wait as it looks like it will plummet again by next weekend.

Isn't the beauty of tubing that you can tap without fear of short life cycle on those holes? Maybe put in your tubing run for this week? That shouldn't give any long term compromise.

I'm totally excited for the season! I will be matching my 42 taps from last year at minimum. Maybe more if the snow pack stays light and I can go further into my woods without too much trudging.
